C3 Solutions explains the importance of investing in climate adaptation measures in its Adaptation 101 policy paper.
- Adaptation efforts protect people, are cost effective, and will save us money long term.
- Government-imposed barriers prevent or hinder investments in adaptation.
- By reducing red tape, making smart investments in natural and artificial infrastructure, and allowing the private sector to flourish, we can develop a robust adaptation agenda that will protect us in the future.
“Climate change policy solutions largely focus on mitigation such as emissions reduction goals and temperature decreases. While global mitigation efforts can help reduce the risk of climate change, adaptation will be an important tool as well.”
